They compare sales numbers, genius.
The existence of an angry mob means nothing. Money talks.
All empires collapse eventually
Wow, insightful, and not at all a crazy reply...
Delulu
The same gamers that are spending their time complaining about GTAVI having no disc also helped it beat pre-sales records. Rock Star probably knew this would be the case (even if people complained about something they don't really care about it) because as they report, 80-95% of the sales of GTAV over the last few years have been digital sales.
You're being a silly child.
Do you own Gamestop stock or something? It may be an unpopular opinion online, but it's reality at the bank. Call acknowledging that crazy if you want. idgaf
Show me how many people other than yourself who are actually happy about this. You are definitely the delusional one whose opinion is in the minority
I didn't say I was happy about it, I said I don't care. The mob noises are immaterial.
And, nutjob, a minority opinion is not inherently wrong. Like I said, money talks, and I think you're crazy if you think this is the end of gaming in any respects and not just things organically changing on account of several factors, the main one being the observable behavior of gamers as reflected in sales data...
Dude just go gluck on the rich Epstein classes dick some more. This is bullshit, it's killing the industry and you know it. This isn't a natural progression of how the industry should be going. This is blatant corporate bullshit and greed because the orange pedophile slashed laws for consumer protections. Get fucked troll, you're in the minority and just can't do anything but double and triple down on your bad take because you dug yourself too far in already on a dumb, deluded view. This is NOT how people want consumer axioms to shift fuckhead. You probably don't even have bills to pay living in your parents basement, that's why you're so, "Oh yeah! Peg me HARDER SONY!" I bet you toss money away on shit like AI girlfriends too. Pathetic, deluded, insane and sad. I seriously pity you
Insane fucking take you goddamned weirdo.
Do you not understand that these companies make money by monitoring and adapting to the habits of consumers? Does this basic logic elude you completely?
You should talk to someone about your severe emotional dysregulation before you do irreparable interpersonal damage in your private life. Fucking yeesh.
